There ist the Contax T2 and everybody wants it, and the is the Contax TVS and nobody knows it?
The Contax TVS was at it´s launch more expensive than the T2 and the practical value is still there. The lens is a Vario Sonnar 3.5 - 6.5 28-55mm lens. That implicates the usage more with enough light or the integrated flash.
The body of the lens is build to last only the lens mechanism should be handelt with respect and care. My copy has a quirk, after standing a day with an inserted CR123A battery the body will not power on without putting the battery out and in.
The Contax is an unsuspicious companion for street and every time a SLR is to bulky.
I hope that the electronic will last!
My first rolls are still not developed, I hope that the results are as good as the shooting was.
